He is building a relationship with Angela. The woman works in the police, brings up a daughter and is often busy, which does not bother her boyfriend in the least. On the contrary, he has a lot of time for himself.

One day the local rebel Matt comes to the gun shop. He demands to sell him a weapon, and Dexter has to use all his communication skills to clearly explain to the guy that such a gun needs FBI permission. After a couple of days, Matt manages to get a gun and he decides to go hunting. Upon learning that the guy was guilty of the deaths of people on the boat, Dexter felt a thirst for blood again and realized that he would return to his former activities.

When the case is over, Dexter realizes what a terrible mistake he made. Realizing that life without a son seems impossible to him, he returns the boy and decides to keep it, but without disclosing the details.
